But the wise elder Bassou secretly plans a different solution: to sabotage the motorized pumps that have lowered the water table and nearly destroyed the subsistence farming and herding that support the local way of life. The young newlywed Yidir agrees to help him and eventually becomes a part of the broader fight for Moroccan independence from French colonial rule.Portraying an indigenous community undergoing radical change, The Sacrifice of Black Cows reflects on notions of modernity and tradition, science and spirituality, free will and fate, and considers the moral obligations of individuals and community. First published in French in 1992, the novel received international acclaim and is regarded as the single best work about Amazigh culture in southeastern Morocco. It was adapted into the award-winning film Atash (Thirst) by the Moroccan director Sa\\xe2d Chra\\xefbi in 2000. Here, it is presented in a riveting new translation by Paul A. Silverstein.'\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Modern Language Association of America","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54508237324456,"sku":"1697598","price":1495.0,"currency_code":"UYU","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0526\/8960\/0680\/files\/POCI-9781603296656_POCI-_9781603296656_f74a428b-9688-4945-84bb-bea917dd1f89.jpg?v=1786226100","url":"https:\/\/www.libreriapocho.com.uy\/products\/the-sacrifice-of-black-cows-layid-silverstein-editor-translator","provider":"Librería Pocho","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
